Police on Tuesday booked Kentreall Brown, 19, with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice. Dajonnaise Bertholotte, 18, was booked with principal to second-degree murder and accessory after the fact to second-degree murder.

Officers jailed the duo in connection with the shooting death of Kerry Johnson, 41.

The tip, officials said, helped detectives identify Brown and his girlfriend as suspects in Johnson's slaying.

Brown and Bertholotte met with investigators at police headquarters Tuesday, and Brown during questioning allegedly confessed to shooting Johnson.

Johnson was killed about 8:15 p.m. Thursday in the 3700 block of St. Claude Avenue. The shooting stemmed from an ongoing feud, said officer Garry Flot, a police spokesman.
